Title: You Talk Too Much
Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket!
A/N: This is just a short lil drabble about Kyo and Uo! It's fluffy and Christmas-y! Hope you like :)
A/N: Oh, yeah, it's from Kyo's POV!
As I walk down the stairs, I can see Tohru and Yuki already sitting at the table, eating breakfast and chatting. Shigure is making tea and humming a song to himself. And he's wearing… a white lace apron…
"Good morning, Kyo!" Tohru says brightly.
Wow… Even at seven o'clock in the morning she is SO PERKY!
"Lovely winter day, isn't it Kyo? Oh, now, don't be a stranger. Have tea with us!" Shigure says with a loopy grin.
I swear, if he weren't such a perv, he would be soooo gay!
"Thanks, but no thanks. I have a few things to do before school starts," I tell them.
Yuki smiles and says, "Yeah, he has to give a Christmas present to his girlfriend!"
"Oh, Kyo, that's wonderful! Who is it?" Tohru says with a Cheshire Cat grin.
"She's not my girlfriend!" I say angrily to Yuki.
"See if I ever tell you anything again…" I mumble to no one in particular.
"So, tell me, Yuki! Who?" Tohru asks once again.
"Miss Arisa Uotani!" Yuki replies.
This causes all three of them –Shigure, Yuki, and Tohru- to have a giggle fit.
"Yeah, yeah. Real funny!" I murmur to myself as I go back upstairs to my room to get ready.
Once in my room, I take off my pajamas, and I change into the school uniform. I grab the small box from underneath my pillow and head out.
I hope she likes it!
Once I get out of the house, I turn right instead of left. The sidewalk takes me to a small apartment instead of school. I walk further and come within thirty feet of a small, but cozy building with beds of lilies around the front.
I wonder if Arisa planted those…
I go up to the door and knock.
((knock))
((knock))
As I wait for her to answer, I bend down to pick a lily when I feel something on my shoulder. Not expecting this, I jump in surprise.
"What are you doing?" asks a sweet, familiar voice.
"Oh, it's you! Uhm… well, you see," I say, trying to explain.
"Continue," she says.
"Well, I came here to give you your gift but then I saw that you had lilies at your house and I didn't know you liked flowers so I didn't buy you any but then I thought that- Omigosh, I'm rambling!" I say like an idiot.
My stupidity is apparently funny, and Arisa giggles. It's like a high note on a flute, light and sweet… just like her.
Did I really just think that?!
"What are you talking about? Gift?" she asks with interest.
Damn! I just ruined the surprise. Oh well, I can't do anything about it now.
"Here!" I say as I shove the box into her hands.
She opens the box and finds a locket. It is on a delicate, silver chain, and the locket itself is painted white with a single pink rose. She gasps in delight and immediately puts it on.
Wow, it looks so nice on her!
"Kyo, there are two more weeks before Christmas! I didn't even know your family celebrated the holiday!" she comments, still astonished.
"We don't but…" I trail off.
"Then why did you –You! Of all people! - buy me a present?" she questions.
"Well… because…" I start.
Ok, here we go! Moment of truth.
"You see… I've always really liked you even though you've always hated me. I just never had the courage to tell you, but since Christmas is you favorite holiday I thou-" I am cut off as she puts her index finger to my lips.
"Why would you think I hate you?" she asks coyly.
"We just fight a whole lot and you've never given me reason to believe otherwise so I just assumed that you hated me and you've not done anything to make me change my mind but that's okay because I understand people don't like-" I am cut off once again as she tousles my hair with her fingers and kisses me lightly on the lips.
She giggles again and says, "You talk too much!"
